Out of curiosity, do any of you know what is the earliest version that will work with the new launcher? Will any of the betas or alphas work with it?
I haven't tried any of the alphas, but I tried beta 1.8. It works, but it also ignores the custom game directory, throwing everything but the jar straight into .minecraft. I don't see any reason the alpha's won't work.
How do you go about manually adding old versions to the launcher? I would guess that the jar file gets renamed to the version number and put in its own folder in the versions folder, but where does the .json file come from? Will that be generated automatically on the first run of that version?
All older versions? Including "Cave Game"?

Awesome! Thanks for the links! I already had most of the jars (still missing a few alphas and betas), but that thread link was the key.
